- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institute on Aging (part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), will provide $539,352 to incorporate portable, low-field brain MRI into a population-representative study of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in rural South Africa. The project, led by The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, aims to transform the ability to assess brain atrophy...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) has awarded a $640,906 project grant under CFDA 93.866 Aging Research to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to conduct research on "Elucidating Cerebrovascular Disease Pathways to Cognitive Decline with Vascular Neuroimaging." The 5-year project aims to utilize advanced neuroimaging techniques to understand the vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), and assess their relationship to Alzheimer's disease proteinopathy....
- The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UTHSCSA) received a $487,386 cooperative agreement award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) to build research infrastructure and capacity for large-scale dementia research in French-speaking Africa (the BUILD-FSA project). The 2-year project, starting February 1, 2025, will leverage prior partnerships between UTHSCSA's South Texas Alzheimer's Disease Research Center and the Brain Research Africa...
- This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $2,815,841 to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) to conduct research using cerebral and cardiac organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells. The goal is to study how the low Earth orbit environment, including microgravity and ionizing radiation, can accelerate aging processes and their effects on the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. The...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $215,509 Project Grant under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to the Botswana-University of Maryland School of Medicine Health Initiatives (BUMMHI) to develop infrastructure for aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (ADRD) research in Botswana. The RAISE-BOTSWANA project aims to support the career development of a local research scientist, Dr. Lillian Okui, through professional...
- The National Institute on Aging (NIA) awarded a $6,670,032 Cooperative Agreement under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866) to the Trustees of Indiana University (doing business as Indiana University Indianapolis) on July 1, 2025. The award supports the development of reproducible, scalable, and standardized 3D brain organoid-based microphysiological systems (MPS) models that recapitulate key features of human Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Alzheimer's disease related dementias...
The College of Medicine, University of Ibadan was awarded a $487,582 Cooperative Agreement on September 19, 2025 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The goal of the project, titled "Cerebral Small Vessel Disease and Brain Health in an Indigenous African Cohort (CSVD-IAC)", is to characterize the burden of cerebral small vessel disease in a population-based cohort of older Nigerians. The project will recruit an additional 2,000 participants to expand an existing cohort, conduct brain and retinal imaging, evaluate novel biomarkers, and assess genetic determinants of cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive impairment. The project will also train at least 5 early career African researchers and engage stakeholders, consolidating and expanding the African Alzheimer's disease and related dementias research infrastructure.
